New York, NY – April 21, 2017 – TV Land has renewed its most-watched and critically acclaimed comedies, “Younger” – which has been named “one of the juiciest comfort-watches” by BuzzFeed – and “Teachers,” which The Hollywood Reporter called “a little surprise gem,” it was announced today by Frank Tanki, General Manager of TV Land. “Younger,” which returns June 28th for its fourth season, has been picked up for a 12-episode fifth season, while “Teachers,” which returns with the back half of season two this fall, has been renewed for a 20-episode third season. This news comes on top of the early second season renewal of the newly-launched comedy “Nobodies,” which stars Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras, and is executive produced by Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone through their production company On The Day, as well as showrunner Michael McDonald.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing back ‘Younger’ and ‘Teachers’ for more seasons and double down on our dedication to creating smart, funny, honest and compelling originals,” said Tanki.

“YOUNGER”

“Younger,” from “Sex and the City” creator Daren Star, stars two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Nico Tortorella, Peter Hermann and Molly Bernard. The series follows Liza, a 40-year old woman who pretends to be 26 in order to get a job in the highly competitive world of publishing – and succeeds. Last season, as Liza continued her lie, her two lives became irreversibly intertwined – with her longtime best friend, Maggie (Mazar), new friend and partner at Empirical, Kelsey, prickly boss Diana (Shor), and everyone in between, becoming part of the same world. In the season three finale, Liza came to realize the damage her secret has caused and finally unveiled the truth to Kelsey (Hilary Duff). Now Liza will be forced to deal with the fallout of her deceit and learn that the truth hurts. Season four premieres Wednesday, June 28th at 10pm ET/PT. Season five will premiere in 2018.

“TEACHERS”

“Teachers” revolves around a group of elementary school teachers who are trying to mold the minds of America’s youth, but don’t have their own lives together at all. The series is written by and stars The Katydids – Caitlin Barlow, Katy Colloton, Cate Freedman, Kate Lambert, Katie O’Brien and Kathryn Renée Thomas – and so far in season two, great guest stars have popped up, including Haley Joel Osment (“Alpha House,” “Comedy Bang! Bang!”) as Mrs. Adler’s husband, Ryan Hansen (“Party Down”) as Ms. Snap’s rival in a school council race, Jessica St. Clair (“Playing House”) as the school counselor, and many more.

The rest of season two, returning this fall, will see Ms. Bennigan (O’Brien) keep naively pursuing Hot Dad (guest star Ryan Caltagirone), Mrs. Adler and Ms. Feldman (Freedman) dealing with a “serial pooper” around the school, and even an entire episode taking place in the 1940s. Season three will premiere in 2018.

“NOBODIES”

"Nobodies" stars and is executive produced and written by Groundlings alums Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras and revolves around the three as they try desperately to land one of their famous friends for a feature script that they have developed, so that they, too, can rise to fame in Hollywood. Davidson, Dorf and Ramras are partnering with their real-life friends, Emmy® winner Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone, who executive produce "Nobodies" through their production company, On The Day. Michael McDonald (“MadTV”), also a former Groundling, is showrunner and also serves as executive producer and director. Guest stars this season include McCarthy, Falcone and McDonald, as well as Kristen Wiig, Kristen Bell, Allison Janney, Jason Bateman, Maya Rudolph, Leslie Bibb, Jim Rash, Nat Faxon and many more. “Nobodies” can currently be seen on TV Land on Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT.

It's no secret that Hilary Duff's son Luca is too cute for words—as evidenced by the plethora of pics on the proud mama's Instagram.

The actress' only child, whose father is Duff's estranged husband Mike Comrie, turned three years old last month and he's getting bigger by the day!

So, does the blond beauty hope to give her son a sibling in the future? E! News caught up with the former child star, who is currently promoting her TV series Younger as well as her new single "Sparks," to get the scoop on the possibility of baby no. 2 in addition to the mother of one's thoughts on her toddler entering showbiz.

"I can't even put into words exactly what he's done to me," the doting mama gushed of her son. "He's captured my whole heart and having children is such an amazing experience. I love him so much; I'm so obsessed with him.

"I definitely want to do it again," she continued, confirming that she hopes to have more children in the future. "But right now, it's time for me to focus on work and the things I love to do outside of him and find what that balance looks like."

Duff filed for divorce from the retired NHL star in February, just over a year after it was revealed that they had separated. Since their split, the friendly exes have been successfully co-parenting their son, even reuniting last month to throw the adorable tot a third birthday party.

"My baby pictures look so much like, Luca, it's crazy. He's definitely a hybrid. I think as he gets older, he's looking more and more like his dad, but then some days when I wake up, I'm like ‘you look exactly like me when I was little,'" she shared of her little one. "So all of our baby photos are pretty similar and it's awesome—it's so great to see yourself in your kid. And to see, you know, Mike in him too, he's definitely a little hybrid."

While Duff is hopeful about the possibility of baby no. 2, the former Disney star is currently enjoying focusing on her career.

Instagram: "Obviously I want to go through all of that [having kids] all over again. The baby phase was so fun," she said. "I honestly have not had a bad time with him, he's such an easy kid, but yes, I have not sat down for like three years. He's full of it."

Actress Hilary Duff is hitting back at media reports that she told journalists she was still a virgin at the age of 19, and is insisting she was misquoted. In a 2006 interview with Elle magazine, the former Disney star touted her squeaky-clean image, and insisted she hadn't yet had sex. But she now denies every making the wild claim, telling Maxim magazine: "You know what? I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that."That's nobody's business but my own. Somehow it turned into a bad thing!"Duff is shrugging off the misquote, because she's heard so many lies about herself after years in the limelight. She adds, "I've been accused by the press of giving lap dances at clubs. I mean, little ol' me? It's shocking."People love to believe it -- it's way more exciting to talk about than the truth! And they're so descriptive about these lap dances. I don't even know how to do a lap dance!"Photo By: RD/Leon/Retna

It was like old times in MTV'sTimes Square studio. There were superstars everywhere you looked, frantic stagehands darting about, and down below — packed against police barricades — screaming kids ... lots of screaming kids.On Sunday night (November 16th), after 10 years and more than 2,500 episodes, MTV's legendary "TRL" bid adieu to the airwaves with "Total Finale Live,"a positively packed three-hour party that was as much about celebrating memories from the past as it was creating ones for the future.It was a livewire, unpredictable and — fittingly — star-studded send-off for a show that prided itself in being all those things. It was a night full of big-time performances, big-name guest stars and nostalgic trips down memory lane. It was the kind of proper, celebratory goodbye that most of MTV's biggest programs (be it "Jackass" or "Beavis and Butt-head" or even "The Osbournes") don't actually get, which sort of makes sense, considering that "TRL" launched the careers of today's biggest stars, reimagined the concept of live television and, whether you realize it or not, probably defined a generation.A who's who of "TRL" alumni rocked stages both inside and out of the studio, starting withBeyoncé, who, backed by a cracking live band, poured her heart and soul into "If I Were a Boy" and then flipped the switch and tore through muscled up versions of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and "Crazy in Love."Fall Out Boy(sans bassist Pete Wentz, who was with his wife Ashlee Simpsonas she reportedly went into labor) followed her, braving the chilly New Yorknight to shred on a flatbed truck parked in the heart ofTimes Square. Wentz evengot some new-dad advice from Good Charlotte's Joel Maddenon the show.Later in the night, a trio of hip-hop heavyweights —Ludacris, NellyandSnoop Dogg— performed their greatest "TRL" hits, thenjoined forceson the Doggfather's "Drop It Like It's Hot." Former "TRL" mainstays theBackstreet Boystook a nostalgic run at "I Want It That Way," and50 Cent— who, in true Fiddy fashion, kept show producers waiting until the very last minute — pounded his way through "In Da Club" and his current hit, "Get Up." (Backstage, he had some choice words for Kanye West and Donald Trump.) And though they didn't perform, tons of other stars stopped by to pay their respects.Justin Timberlakechuckled as clips of his frosted-tipped 'NSYNCpast played on flat-screen TVs in the studio.Taylor Swiftclutched a "TRL" yearbook that she got signed by everyone in attendance. Diddy— who appeared on the show more than anyone else — did a bit of hosting, a bit of joking and (of course) a bit of plugging for his new fragrance, I Am King, and the upcoming Notorious B.I.G. biopic"Notorious."And, in a move that could only happen on live television,Kid Rockwandered around with a stogie and a glass of beer, then greeted a female admirer in the audience with: "Hi, baby, you're much too young for me."There were phoned-in congrats from EminemandChristina Aguilera. Miley Cyrusgeeking out in the "TRL" photo booth. More former VJs than you could shake a stick at. And plenty of video packages that recounted the most memorable moments from the show's 10-year history — everything fromMariah Carey's wacko striptease to Rudy Guiliani's appearance on the show's first broadcast post-9/11 — and goofy glimpses at your favorite stars' first appearances on the show (a barely legal Xtina, a super-slim Slim Shady, a giggly Britney Spears, to name just a few). There were on-air bleeps and teary pre-teens and even a few "Oh wait, what?!?" moments — you know, the stuff "TRL" was known for.And, appropriately, there was also one last video countdown. Hosts Carson Daly and Damien Fahey guided viewers (and the screaming fans inside the studio) through the 10 most iconic clips in "TRL" history — everything from Outkast's "Hey Ya!" and 'NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" to Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" — a list topped with Britney Spears' " ... Baby One More Time" (sadly, Brit Brit was not on hand to accept the accolades). The fact that all of this played out before a packed (and really squealy) studio audience — and on a massive screen outside in Times Square — only seemed right.And then, as 11 p.m. drew close on the East Coast, it was time bring the show to a close. Surrounded by friends, fans and the famous, Daly and Fahey raised champagne glasses and attempted to sum up the show's 10-year run in a few sentences. Not surprisingly, this proved rather tough (and Kid Rock and Snoop's "pass the dutchie" antics didn't help matters much), but it was Daly who perhaps did it best, thanking everyone who's ever appeared or worked on the show for a decade's worth of memories, then turning to the camera, raising his glass high and asking, appropriately: "Why are we stopping this show?" Good question, dude.Photos By: Getty Images Via MTV Networks

Singer Hilary Duff is speaking out about Miley Cyrus and is refusing to judge her decision to pose for the controversial photos in Vanity Fair magazine and insists she wouldn’t have made the same mistake.The photos which show 15-year-old Cyrus posing topless under a blanket, have caused outrage and is forcing the singer to apologize, and claim she was duped into the shots. Duff, 20, agrees Cyrus was probably pushed into posing and that her apology should be accepted. She says, "Everyone goes through things and takes their own path. Who am I to judge decisions that she made? "People are pushing you to do something, and if you want to do it, that’s your choice, you know? It’s not what I would choose to do, but if she did then that’s fine. That’s her choice."And she said she is sorry - she is allowed to be sorry."

Pop singer Hilary Duff partied at Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood the other night. Duff looked good, wearing a black satin jacket and jeans but was guarded closely by security. It also looks like she was coming from a event and took not one, but two bye-bye bags. For my readers who don't know, bye-bye bags are given to guests who leave a event and have all kinds of good stuff in them. It is really looked down upon when a guest takes two.Photo By: Zavar Manokian/BuzzFoto.com

Hilary Duff used to destroy her sister Haylie's underwear.The 'Stranger' singer has revealed she fought constantly with her older sister - who is now launching her own music and acting career - and would often play cruel tricks on her. Hilary told Top of the Pops magazine: "If Haylie had friends over to stay when we were little, and they left me out, I'd freeze their underwear!" I'd wet the knickers, put them in the freezer and snap them to ruin them."Whatever I did, Haylie always got me back. Older siblings know how to be good fighters - when you're younger you just hit back. I'm sure there were a couple of flying hairbrushes."When Haylie and I were really young and we played games together - she'd always make me pretend to be a boy because I had short hair. I hated it!"
